Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 10:37:51 -0700 (PDT) From: Linus Torvalds torvalds@transmeta.com To: Kernel Mailing List linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: Linux-2.4.0-test9-pre2 Ok. I think we're getting to the point where there are no major known bugs. That means that as of the final 2.4.0-test9 I will no longer accept any patches that don't have a critical problem (as defined by Teds list) associated with them. So when you send me a patch, either bug Ted to mark the issue as "critical" first, or pay me money. It's that easy. Linus ---- - pre1: - USB: OHCI controller unlink and bandwidth reclamation fixes - USB: storage update - sparc64: register window race. Non-deadlock rwlocks. - name clash in hamradio/pi2.c and hamradio/pt.c - epic100 credits, 8139too driver update, sr.c initcalls - acenic update - NFS sillyrename fixups - mktime(). Do it just once - not 16 times. - misc small fixes to random drivers by Tigran - IDE driver picks up master/slave relationships on its own. - truncate unmapped/uptodate case handled correctly - don't do notifier locking at low level: higher levels do (or should do) this already. - ACPI interpreter updates (and file renames - making this part big) - SysKonnect gigabit driver update - 3c59x driver update - pcmcia debounce logic. Ugh. - MM balancing (Rik Riel) - pre2: - "extern inline" -> "static inline". It doesn't matter right now, but it's proactive for future gcc versions. - various net drvr updates and fixes - more initcall updates - PPC updates (including PPC-related drivers etc) - disallow re-mounting same filesystem in same place multiple times. Too confusing. And /etc/mtab gets strange. - Riel VM update - sparc updates - PCI bridge scanning fix: assign numbers properly - network updates - scsi fixes
